As if the wet weather wasn’t enough reason to be cautious on the roads over the Australia Day weekend, drivers on the north coast are reminded that double demerit points started at midnight and will be in place until the end of the weekend.
NSW Police are also reminding drivers that their road safety campaign, Operation Safe Return, will be in place from midnight tonight until midnight Sunday. Extra highway police will be on patrol.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
